Well you can Forward and open the port your torrents are going through. It will bypass your firewall.

Check the P2P forums for more help.

Aside from port-forwarding, which generally requires that you set your PC's IP address to a static address, you can connect your PC to the DMZ port of your router if it supports it. Then you avoid having to set a static IP - all you need to do is activate the DMZ. Your PC will essentially be unfirewalled at that point, so obviously you need a personal firewall, which is a good regardless of whether or not you use a router.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.

Look in the documentation. You can also usually look at the back at one of the LAN jacks. They will often say something like "Port 4/DMZ". This is whatyou plug into though. It must actually be enabled through the router's web interface.
